SORRY, ALREADY SOLD! The Typewriter from Another Planet! 1955 Alpina Typewriter

We are pleased to offer this lovely, red and beige, Alpina typewriter in superb condition. This is a rare, Alpina N24 from 1955, considered by many to be a masterpiece of design, both mechanical and aesthetic. This typewriter has been fully restored and conserved to our highest standards. This is the original colour and finish; it has not been repainted. This typewriter is truly a "statement" on the desk of any serious screenwriter, journalist, novelist or even the occasional letter-writer. 
In superior cosmetic condition and working perfectly. The original colour is uniform everywhere on the typewriter and the finish is unblemished except for a very few spots on the rear panel of the typewriter. The keytops are unscratched and the platen is clean, smooth and has a hardness measurement of ~92 (between 85 and 95 is considered ideal). The paper feed rollers and the rubber feet are in excellent condition.
This fabulous typewriter comes with the original case in perfect condition, two original Alpina cleaning brushes and a new ribbon on the original spools to get you typing immediately.
 
 
Like all of our typewriters this is a fully-working typewriter. It comes with the "Acme" lead certification seal attached to the typewriter which permanently identifies it as a genuine Acme-restored typewriter. We have a one-year mechanical warranty on all typewriters sold and provide careful and attentive after-purchase advice and assistance from the date of purchase to the end of eternity to ensure your full satisfaction. In terms of an investment, the Acme Seal proves that this machine was restored by the Acme Type Machine Company. This can add value in the event that you wish to sell this typewriter in the future. 
Mechanically it is in perfect working condition. It does not seem to have been much used and to have been carefully maintained as well. It has been fully cleaned, adjusted, aligned and lubricated for years of future use.
The typeface is Pica, 10 cpi. The keyboard is QWERTY and has additional keys for European languages.
